Spritually Coming Together — UNDERSTANDING Because it is a Catholic school, religion is an essential part of Fenwick traditions. In religion classes, in morning prayer, and in community outreaches, we come together in the true Christian spirit of love. All students are required to take four years of religion classes. How- ever, the classes are varied so as to provide an interesting religious edu- cation. The freshman and sophomore classes focus on fundamentals, providing a foundation for the junior and senior classes which expand the students’ knowledge of one aspect of spiritual development, such as mar- riage or dealing with death. Morning prayer helps all students to prepare to start the day in a posi- tive manner. This positive attitude ex- tends into our masses which are planned by students and teachers. Together, they participate by pray- ing, singing hymns, doing the read- ings, and administering the Eu- charist. An extension of our spiritual life at Fenwick is the way we reach out to others through such projects as the Thanksgiving Food Drive, in which students and faculty contribute canned food to the needy. Another community service project is Opera- tion Charlie, a well established Fenwick Christmas tradition in which seniors are matched with residents of an orphanage in Rochester, New Hampshire. Finally, in the Walk for Hunger, Fenwick students and teachers join with other concerned people from the Boston area to raise money for Boston’s charitable organizations by walking twenty miles around Boston Common. These are the ways in which the es- sential piece of religion fits into our lives.
